I do plan on adding the rom selection to BB, but I need to brush up on WPF a bit first. I was also thinking of adding a feature where after a rom has been selected, the next time you launch the game via the normal Play option, it will automatically load that rom from the zip.

That would be an amazing feature, I already had it in mind but didn't dare to ask for it ?

Imho the best approach for configuring your emulators is to create a new one for each platform instead of using 1 emulator and adding all the platforms in there. I will also configure mine like that in future builds, plus it makes troubleshooting easier.

Thanks for the update, just tried it and works like a charm!

I initially had to rearrange my configuration a bit though.

I configured most of my platforms under the retroarch emulator, if you then select the extract function some platforms won't work anymore after extracting (like mame, cps, lynx, neo geo)

So I solved it by using 2 retroarch emulator paths, 1 with extract and 1 without.

 

The rom selecting function is also amazing, any future plans to integrate this in BB?

Hi @Jerre - Funny this thread should popup, I'm right in the process of adding this feature to a plugin. It's a right-click menu option which displays a list of files in the zip. You can then select your preferred language / hack ROM and launch it. This video shows launch the Japan and US versions of a ROM from a single archive. This plugin feature should be available the next few days for LaunchBox, with a BigBox version to follow. No need to trim all your ROMs just yet

 

That's fantastic!

I didnt start trimming yet, so I will definately wait for the plugin

I dont mind some manual work, but having to do it for hundreds or thousands of roms is a bit tedious.

There is no way to specify which file from a zip to load. Multiple versions in one zip file really isnt a good idea to be honest, but to each their own.

Thanks for the quick response!

 

I was already afraid that there was'nt any option to do so, guess i'll have some serious trimming to do ?

Hi all,

Ive been searching to find a solution for this issue, but I'm unable to find any, so I come with my question here ?

When using any zipped file with multi language roms retroarch unzips the 1st rom, in a lot of cases for me the first one is a JPN file.

If I use the "extract rom archives before running" option in platform editor it will select the second language instead (unfortunately this is spanish -_-).

 

Is there a possibility that launchbox/retroarch selects a chosen language or will I be forced to remove all unwanted languages?

 

Thanks in advance!
